ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup basmati rice
1 cup orange lentils
¹⁄₂ cup brown lentils
¹⁄₄ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
¹⁄₂ teaspoon curry powder
salt & pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon turmeric
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cumin
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ginger

directions

Add oil to medium size pot, fry onion until soft.
Add chopped tomato, carrot, tomato paste and garlic and stir until a bit soft, about 8 minutes or so on low heat.
Add dry spices to bring out their flavors and aroma.
Add rice and lentils, cover with water just a bit over the rice, approximately 2-1/2 cups or so, bring to boil, cover and simmer for approximately 40 minutes checking periodically to see if tender.
NOTE: The lentils may seem a bit tough even after cooking, but leave covered for about 15 minutes and before serving they will be fine.
Great next to chicken or a great vegetarian meal all by itself!

This is delicious masha Allah. I used white Basmati rice, green lentils in place of brown as that is what I had on hand, canned plum tomatoes, I peeled the carrot before chopping it up, recipe#442889, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, plus the rest. I served it as a vegetarian meal with homemade raita.
